Waldo said:I must have bumped thermostat dial. My water seemed kind of hot. When I was done cleaning I noticed I was at 310 Degrees ATM. I brought it back down to 250 ATM and it seemed to clean better.

That has to be one of the most ancient wise tales of cleaning carpet. It's not true your chemicals don't double in strength with higher heat....lancehollister said:Your minimum required temp. is 180. Every 10 degrees after that can increase the power of your chemical by 50 %. Yes heat important but if you didnt have pure steam at the wand i dought it was 350.

Josh said:I was taught that once your rinse solution reaches 118 degrees, the chem activity doubles for each progressive 18 degree increase.
Is this not true?
